Justin Timberlake in 2013

i thought "Pusher Love Girl" sounded pretty good and "Suit & Tie" just gets worse and worse

i kinda love "mirrors"... i think it's a really fantastic vocal performance

i really can't even begin to give a fuck about another "cry me a river"/"what goes around" type song

it genuinely bums me out that THAT is the quickie 2nd single hail mary to "Suit & Tie"

i'm honestly not even sure why i think this, but i think "cry me a river" and "what goes around" are so distinctive that i'm okay with the idea of them adding to them for a sort of trilogy thing. i def initially felt like they were just playing out the formula or whatever but i think this song is pretty good on its own and idk i guess i've just really warmed to the idea of them making that song again.

also, again, i think it's a really fantastic vocal performance

i think it's a octology or something once you factor in all the songs justin has written/produced in that template

i will have to go back to "mirrors" with a fresh set of ears at some point though

maybe it's also that i'm not really feeling the direction of "suit & tie"/"pusher love girl" so i'm just gobbling this wheelhouse shit up

i think jt does the best he can with the sub-chris cornell scream guitar arpeggio that tim provides

lmao you took it there

the guitar sounds like so much dogshit

i can't even with this song

if "strawberry bubblegum" and "spaceship coupe" are bad i'm gonna be heartbroken

i could take them rewriting the same song for the millionth time (lol at "trilogy") if they'd bothered to write a melody as affecting as "rehab" (which was a good song despite the formula being way played out even then)

at this point i'll just be happy if we get a couple of legit decent jams off this album

i have mirrors going in my headphones now and i'm having trouble making myself pay attention to it.

eight minutes??

we only got four minutes to save the song

^^a better song than "mirrors"

student played me "Mirrors" for the first time today and imo it's fucking amazing

Yeah, I'm feeling Mirrors and Suit & Tie (although I haven't really admitted the latter to anyone until now). I really want to hear the full album though. Futuresex/Lovesounds ‎was explicitly an LP, I wonder whether I even feel differently about those tracks in that context.

rorschach test of some kind maybe but 'mirrors' seems like total autopilot to me

There's more than a bit of nostalgia to it, for sure.

futuresex/lovenoztalgia

there's a bit of nostalgia to all this excitement but liking poor imitations of a 6-7 yr old just out of nostalgia seems sad

it's just really important as a music fan to know when the magic has gone from my favourite artists' work

Ciara - One Woman Army (2012)

I'm reserving my full declaration of sadness.

i love poor cici's new stuff as much as anything at her peak, and not because it sounds like it

if anything's magnifying ciara for me in 2012-13 it's that NO ONE ELSE is dancing so she seems way more unique than she should perhaps

I wonder if JT solo ever really switched things up? It's basically been about stretching out the Timbaland/Neptunes era R&B urban sound into increasingly epic variations...

lol j0rd

^^

taking on the One Stan Army

hmm i think i can tell when ciara puts out substandard rehashes of her old stuff eg "sorry"

not sure how loving "livin' it up" or "wake up, no make-up" is nostalgia for old cici though

Taylor Swift - RED - October 22

The only way all this was ever going to really excite is if he'd gone in a discernibly new direction and Timbaland aint it.

do yall actually have a point or is this just whiney style throwing every zing at the wall

suit and tie is pretty good, but, again, 5 and a half minutes?

I've grown to really like jay's verse and the switch-up but the intro has got to go

the verses on "Mirrors" might be auto-Timb but the way they turn into that massive AOR chorus is really nice imo

The only way all this was ever going to really excite is if he'd gone in a discernibly new direction and Timbaland aint it.

This is also probably true.

I like the introduction but that chorus forces him to strain his vocal chords.

hehe @ One Stan Army

there's more than one of us i met the other remaining ciara stan in this country two weeks ago -_-

$449

i would want an actual suit & tie not to mention JT naked in my bed for that money

also lol @ the idea of anyone who'd shell out $449 somehow not having an mp3 of "mirrors" already

I can't see what that is right now, what does $449 get you?
